Telling Your Story Through Fine Art Portraiture

Shinu John is a fine-art portrait photographer based in Dublin, Ireland, creating bespoke portrait commissions for individuals, families, professionals and pets. Each commission is developed as a considered work of art, from the initial concept and creative direction through to the finished portrait and artwork.

From fine-art portraiture and boudoir to family portraits, pet portraits, executive headshots and personal branding, every commission is approached individually, with creative direction, lighting and styling shaped around the person and the story being photographed.

 

Portrait sessions are held primarily at my private photography studio in Rialto, Dublin 12, where I have complete control over lighting, styling and creative direction.

 

 

THE PORTRAITS I CREATE

Art portraits and headshots, luxury

BEAUTY PORTRAITS & BOUDOIR

Bespoke beauty and boudoir portraiture created as fine art. Each session is individually conceived around you, with creative direction, styling and considered lighting used to create portraits that feel personal, expressive and timeless. Your chosen images can be transformed into finished artwork, from archival prints to statement wall art.

WHAT THE PROCESS IS LIKE

1. THE CONSULTATION

Your commission begins with a conversation. We discuss what you want to create, the story or idea behind it, your preferred aesthetic and how you would like the finished portrait to look. Where appropriate, we develop a mood board to establish the visual direction before your session.

2. THE PORTRAIT SESSION

Your portrait session is directed around you rather than a predetermined set of poses. Lighting, styling, composition and posing are carefully considered to create portraits that feel intentional, expressive and personal. Where required, professional hair and makeup can form part of the experience.

3. THE ARTWORK SELECTION

After your session, we review the photographs together and select the portraits that best represent the vision we created. This is also where we begin considering which images are best suited to finished prints, wall art or other artwork.

4. THE ARTWORK REVEAL

Once your portraits have been fully refined, we present the finished work through an artwork reveal. Together we can explore your chosen portraits and the options available for turning them into finished artwork for your home or collection.

5. THE FINISHED ARTWORK

Your finished portraits are delivered according to the collection and artwork you select. Digital photographs are provided through an online gallery, while finished prints, wall art and other physical artwork are prepared separately for collection or delivery.

Sylver Foley

Shinu is absolutely amazing! I don't know how to accurately describe what a wonderful experience my daughter had with him -- he was so friendly and welcoming, and I honestly felt mostly useless while the two of them went on a creative tangent. The photos we got back are honestly surreal they're so good, and she'd do a weekly shoot if we could. I recommend him to literally everyone, and the quality of both digital images and prints we got far surpass any others I've seen or bought.

I cannot recommend Shinu highly enough. From the very start, communication was flawless. He advised things to bring and was most helpful answering all my many many questions. Once I arrived, he put me at ease immediately and made sure I was warm, fed and had something to drink. Even made me coffee. Our shoot turned out incredibly. He gave impeccable direction and was just overall such amazing value. We have since worked together a few times and I am always thrilled for the result and even just to see him. A complete gentleman!

Shinu is a very talented and creative photographer! We did a photoshooting together in his studio and it was my first time to try it. He creates a beautiful and comfortable athmosphere and suggests creative and beautiful poses for a picture. I really enjoyed working with Shinu and will book him again as soon as I am back in Dublin :)

Klara Hallinan

Shinu is a phenomenonal photographer with the friendliest personality. I was incredibly nervous bringing my daughter and husky for a family session. I was absolutely certain they were both going to ignore me entirely during the whole process, and of course my dog did but it absolutely wasn't a problem. Shinu is so professional and no amount of excitement is a problem. As soon as he came out smiling and waving, my nerves dissipated completely and he made the whole afternoon so easy. I couldn't be happier and I'm looking forward to going back for more!

Working with Shinu John was a dream come true to be honest – not only did he create beautiful, empowering images from our session but my experience in his atelier was fantastic. He's a kind, warm person who knows how to give clear guidance – you don't have to be a professional model to achieve stunning images with Shinu, he'll work with you to bring out so much beauty and confidence you never even knew you had in you.

What can I say; Shinu is very talented at what he does! I had 1 personal brand shoot and 1 members shoot for our 2024 fitness studio calendar. Personally I don’t like the spotlight of the camera but Shinu made the whole brand photoshoot fun and professional. I have attached some examples of each shoot to this review. Ecofitness will be using Shinu for future shoots. Would highly recommend his services, Korina Ecofitness
